Thursday

Great
workshop for beginning rivet tool students who want to explore more
applications for this sensational tool, or for newbies who want to try
it on for size and see if they like it. You'll make this beautiful cuff
bracelet, composed of a vintage brass and steel cuff bracelet paired
with a beautiful crown bezel in brass, and side embellishments from
Gilding's inventory of pewter and brass. You'll complete two bracelet
bases during class, and then we'll send them off for plating in rich
sterling. Our sample is shown gently aged with our gold and silver
darkener.

Choose from images from my library you can trap under glass domes, or select beautiful faceted German rauten
stones to be the centerpiece of your cuff...or do one of each! When
your pieces come back from the plater, you'll pick them up at the store
and finish them by setting your focals and crimping the bezels.

Tools and supplies:
Bring basic jewelry tools to class that include pliers (flat and round
nose) and cutters. If you have shaping pliers or a rivet tool, please
bring them, too. We'll be using two sizes of shaping pliers to size the
cuffs, and will try to have all these, including the rivet tools and
supplies, on sale that day at class. We can also take orders for the
rivet tools and supplies.

Your class includes:
Two cuff bases, two bezels, four embellishment pieces, and your choice
of glass domes and images and/or faceted cabochons, and plating of your
items, which should take 1-2 weeks to complete. We will have at least
two rivet tools and vises on hand to use, and your riveting supplies are
also included.

All
class fees are prepaid, and non-refundable. Contact Nancy at 714-349-2069 to reserve your place in this class. You may also
reserve your place in person at the store by check, cash or credit
card, or via phone with your credit card at 714-680-8893. Call us if you
